Massive 10k crore GST fraud busted! 🚨 Three more arrests made in this elaborate scheme. 👇 Three more members of a gang believed to be behind the Rs 10,000 crore GST fraud were arrested.

The gang allegedly orchestrated the fraud by registering more than 3,000 companies from stolen or fake identities and then using these firms to raise e-way bills and avail input tax credit (ITC) from the government.

The three who were arrested are all residents of Delhi’s Rohini. “We received a tip-off about some members of the gang involved in the GST scam. We formed a team and nabbed them on the DND while they were on their way to Greater Noida.

We have come to know they were involved in generating bogus bills that were used to claim ITCs,” said additional DCP (Noida) Shakti Mohan Avasthy.

The three have been booked under IPC sections 420 (cheating), 467, 468, and 471 (all related to forgery), and 120B (criminal conspiracy).
